FireChan Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) You're wrong. One game was under 200. It was 173 with 73% completion in a win against CHI, in which he passed for TD and rushed for one, too. Since when is that bad? Seeing as we're comparing total yardage, you and BFF are saying it's bad. Edited June 16, 2015 by FireChan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Ok, you got me. What stats, other than passing would you like to use in discussing QB play? OYE. OVERALL OFFENSE. Game Management which equals keeping drives alive by scrambling when needed and NOT having 5 straight 3 and outs and sliding short of a 1st down with a defender far enough away for the QB to have made it had he held his slide a few seconds longer. Passing yard stats is a Smoke and Mirrors stat. Is Russel Wilson a Top Passer? Is Romo? Alex Smith? And apparently Marrone had seen enough after four games with E.J., to bench him after the unforgettable 21-44 performance against the Texans. http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2014092802/2014/REG4/bills@texans?icampaign=GC_schedule_rr#menu=gameinfo how many worse games have we seen from Tom Brady** when he had 4 INT games. IIRC I think its between 3 and 5. How many other QB's have had bad games against Houston? A: a lot And BTW, how did the Bills lose to the horrible Raiders? Poor defense and 13 TOTAL net yards rushing. http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2014122110/2014/REG16/bills@raiders?icampaign=GC_schedule_rr#menu=gameinfo|contentId%3A0ap3000000447909&tab=analyze&analyze=boxscore Kyle Orton and Moron not adjusting to the game as it passed by. also Moron should have benched Orton after his first 4 games.

You're the one throwing out stats, so I thought to compare stats that are directly attributable to a QB. KC, Seattle passing stats didn't swing as wildly as they did for Buffalo between 2013 & 2014. It's clear that you think that EJ's issues are due solely to Marrone's hate for him, when there's ample evidence that he's simply not that good, and a coach was deathly afraid of keeping him out on the field because he was a few throws away from killing his entire WR corps.

Well, they could have benched Orton and fired the O Coordinator after the 2nd Miami game in my opinion. I will give you that much. http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2014111300/2014/REG11/bills@dolphins?icampaign=GC_schedule_rr#menu=gameinfo|contentId%3A0ap3000000431149&tab=analyze&analyze=playbyplay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChan Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) Funny ... I don't recall saying that. I call it efficient and successful. Then why are you saying anything?

Gugny Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 It is relevant to BF4E's points. Not mine. So it's your opinion that throwing fewer passes, for fewer yards at a higher completion percentage - ending up with a victory - is a bad thing?

My opinion is that BF4E's metric of which QB is better is flawed. That's also your opinion. Our provided evidence was different. That's all. You actually are agreeing with me while simultaneously disagreeing with me. It's fascinating. W-L is a team stat.

There's also ample evidence that shows how EJ Manuel was good enough to keep Jameis Winston on the bench at FSU. The same Jameis Winston that won a National Championship and Heisman trophy. As far as play calling goes, I was done and convinced that something was amiss when down in the red zone Marrone/Hackett decided to throw a slant pass to Mike Williams in the end zone. Not a jump ball situation that he was basically brought to Buffalo for, but a slant pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romo passed for 3700 yards, completed 70% of his passes and had 34 TDs on 9 ints rating of 113 and went to the PB last year. He has 33,000 yards in 9 seasons and 242 TDs (21 in NFL history). If you have to ask if he is a top passer, you don't know what one is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
